French Workers' Party

The French Workers' Party (POF) was a communist political party in France that existed from 1880 to 1905. The party was founded by Karl Marx's son-in-law Paul Lafargue and the journalist Jules Guesde, and the party sought to replace capitalism with a socialist state. The party was pacifist, unlike the communist parties in France and Russia, and the party believed that immigrants should have limited citizenship and not full citizenship. In 1905, the party merged into the Socialist Party of France.
